One Time When Men did not Swear

Charleston Dispatch.
Most persons who have got into
the habit of swearing declare that
they can not help it, and that they
do not know when they are using
profane language. The latter part of
the declaration may be true, but
there was a time in the history of the
present generation when men did
not swear. 1t was on the night of
the earthquake. The great blasphe-
mers and swearers were dumb on
that occasion /; or, if they lifted their
voices at all, it was to ask mercy of
Him whose name they had so often
mingled with curses. The habit of
swearing and using the Lords name
is SO unnatural among believers and
Christians, especially, that the atheist
must be puzzled to know whether
the believer has any respect for the
God he pretends to serve or not. To
hear a man praise God with his lips
on Sunday, and profane His name
during the week, is a popularity, we
believe, only among those who are
worshipers of the true God, and COM
handed not to take his name in
vain. They may not mean any
harm by it, but it is a dreadful habit
to fall into. 1t is shocking to persons
Of refined tastes, and painful to those
who serve God through love.
Again, to hear a husband and IA
Their mingling profanity with his
conversation, in the presence Of his
wife and daughters seems very much
as though he does not care whether
other people respect them or not.
He does not mean any harm by it,
cit is only a habit" but many a
weeping wife and daughter has re-
tired to her room to beg Gods mercy
and forgiveness for the loved one
who breaks a divine commandment
and outrages her feelings by a habit
which he caR not help.
1t is strange how the habitual
swearers managed to "help it" on
the night of the earthquake. When
Jehovah spoke, they were, for the
time being, respectful.

What Cicero Said.
Sonth.W West.

Sonth. West.
Nineteen hundred years ago, even
before Christ was born, Cicero pro-
claimed what is now one of the fun
damental principles of the X. of l..
He said,
81 hold that no man deserves to be
crowned with honor whose life is a
failure. He who onlylives to eat and
drink and accumulate money is a
failure. The world is no better for
his living in it. He never wiped a
tear from a sad face, never kindled
a fire on a frozen hearth. / repeat
with emphasis that he is a failure.
There is no flesh in his heart. He
worships no God but gold"
These, says the Dayton Workman,
forcibly, are the words Of a heather,
buthowm ighttheytea the churches
of today, who so silently, even with
contempt frequently, pass by the great
wrongs done the laboring classes by
honoring the accumulation of money
instead of moral worth. laI sis
Let us under all circumstances be
united. Unity tempers the violence
of contention and keeps alive the
seeds of harmony. 1t suppresses ami
mostly and renews endearment. The
Roman empire once carried its arts
and arms into every part of the east
ern continent. The monarchs OF
mighty Kingdoms were dragged at
the wheels of their triumphal chart
OTIS. The Roman eagle waved over
the ruins of desolate countries. Where
is her 'splendor, her wealth, her pow
er, her glory? Extinguished forever,
Disunion entered her borders and the
hearts of her people. She lost her
national character, and her destruc.
ton soon followed. Isaa.1
Citizens will loose their respect in
any Government unless it extends
equal rights to all, and extends the
shield of honorable protection to
every class. This much we desire
and are united and laboring together
for this purpose. W. want no mans
property, we seek the injury of none
but moral and political elevation is
our motto.
While thus we toll, many scorn oul
labor and ignore our cause. Tht
warrior alta distance sees how thu
battle might have been fought, the
victory won. So do some see our err
ror real or imaginary.

A Storm at Sea.

1874 khAA - HF4A -AAA1 1lt
Addison considered the following
description Of a ship in a storm, made
by the psalmist, a remarkable ex-
ample of the power of simple Ian
guage. He ranks it higher than any
similar description given by ancient
poets or the writers of his day.
They that go down to the sea in
ships, that do business in great
waters: these see the works of the
Lord and his wonders in the deep.
For he commandeth and raiseth
the stormy wind, which liftheth up
the waters thereof; they mount up
to the heaven; they 90 down again
to the depths; their soul is melted be-
cause of trouble. They reel to-and
fro and stagger like a drunken man,
and are at their wits end. Then
they cry unto the Lord in their
trouble, and he bringeth them out
of their distresses. He maketh the
storm a calm, so that the waves
thereof are still. Then they are glad
because they be quiet, so he bringeth
them unto their desired haven
Psalm 107.

from sacrifice when we learn that
this life is but a page of the divine
book, and remember that immortality
waits for us when this lesson is right
ly comprehended.
Birth, marriage and death are three
solemn mysteries given US to study,
and the second of these is the key
which solves the problem of the other
two, since well born children and
true welded love will help us to bless

joicing to receive our reward in the

Southern Publisher and Printer.
Some people say a man must have
no friends in business, and a great
many believe in this maxim, but it
is a mistake. The more friends you
have the better business. Don't let
your friendship allow you to lose
your judgment in regard to credits.
This is the rock hat generally
sinks the ship. 1T is so hard to say
no to a friend when you feel that his
line of credit is exhausted. 1t is
hard to tell a man his account is full,
but it is only such men that have
backbone enough to do so that keep
their profit and loss account down
to its proper place.
Backbone-what an important ele'

makes a man unpopular and perhaps
loses him a customer, but it is 9
very essential quality. Take notice
and you will see that every big con

Some people call him kicker. But
a kicker who knows when, to kick
and how to kick is in our judgment
a very necessary man.

A Large City.

If any one were to walk one wav
through all the streets of London he
would be obliged to 90 a distance of
two thousand six hundred miles, or as
far as it is across the American CONT
nent from New York to San Francisco.
This will give an idea of what would
have to be done in order to see even
the greater part of London. In our
approach to this city, as well as in our
ramblcs through its streets, we shall
not be struck so much by its splendid
and imposing appearance as by its i'm
mensity. Go where we may, there
seems to be no end to the town. 1t is
fourteen miles one way and eight miles
the other, and contains a population of
nearly four million people, which is
greater indeed than that of Switzer-
land or the kingdoms of Denmark and
Greece combined. We are told on good
authority that there are more Scotch
men in London than in Edinburgh,
more Irishmen than in Dublin, and
more Jews than in Palestine, with for
eigners from all parts of the world,
including great number of Americans.
ct there are so many Englishmen in
London that one is not likely to notice
the presence of these people of other
nations. This vast body of citizens
some so rich that they never can count
their money, and some so poor that
they never have any to cOunt-eat
every year four hundred thousand
oxen, one and half million sheep.
eight million chickens and game birds,
not to speak of calves, hogs and diff
ferent kinds of fish. They consume
five hundred million oysters, which,
although it seems like large number,
would only give, if equally divided
among all the people, one oyster every
third day to each person. There are
three hundred thousand servants in
London, enough people to make a large
city; but as this gives only one servant
to each dozen citizens it is quite evil
dent that great many of the people
must wait on themselves. Things are
very unequally divided in London; and
| have no doubt that instead of there
being one servant to twelve persons
some of the rich lords and ladies have
twelve servants apiece Frank r.

About Anti-POyerty.

Our government is not compelled to
eXpend large sums of money as a means
of distribution of bread to the working
men of the country. We are not COM
PEELED to make war to satisfy the whims
and caprice of the people or popularize
the government for the time-being, and
we are not compelled to furnish work
to give bread to the people. Here, if
nowhere else, there is labor for every
man at wages sufficient for self-support
and to create surplus and make him
a capitalist. l noticed the other day
that an Anti-poverty Society had been
formed. Well, am in favor of all
well-directed movements in that direc-
ton, and l will suggest to that society
that the sure way to remove poverty is
to reform the vicious and the lazy. Dis
pense with crime and Incidence and
every one will be rich. If laborers,
wage-workers with hands or brain, will
obtain the best wages they can and
labor hours enough to create surplus,
they will all become rich men and capt.
talists. The accumulation of wealth in
this country is due to the creation of
surplus by individual workers, and in
my judgment that is the right policy
for each individual worker to pursue.
l know there is a great deal said about
capital and its undue power and influ-
ence, but for the encouragement of the
Anti-poverty Society permit me to say
the capital, indeed our government, is
guided and controlled by working-men,
workers with the mind or hands, or
both, heretofore and now guided by
the principle that by their labor they
should constantly and increasingly Gre
ate surplus. Thus they have become,
and will continue, capitalists, and un-
less time arrives when monkeys tails
grow upon men, when might and law
less power make the right, will man,
woman or child be oppressed by taxa
ton in the possession or by any
method despoiled of the surplus hon
estly gained, in whatever form of prop
erty it may be, but they will be en-
cOuraged to increase theirs.-.Senator

Don't Bother with Dyestuffs.

Many women cling to the old-time
custom of using dyes prepared at home
from various recipes. A great deal of
bother attends this way. The prepared
dyes kept by all druggists and known
as the Diamond dyes come all ready to
use, and require no experience, do
their work much more perfectly and
are far cheaper. Plenty of soft water
should be used. All dirt and grease
should be removed from the clothes be-
fore dyeing. They should be we'll
secured with Ivory soap and water and
rinsed and dipped in warm water before
putting in the dye, after which they
should be washed in soap-suds and
hung out to dry. With each pack
age of Diamond dye comes color card.
Ask also for the book published by the
Wells ~ Richardson Co., Burlington,
VT, who are the manufacturers of these
dyes. Rags for carpets and rugs, cur
tains, furniture covers and carpets that
are soiled and faded may be freshened
by dyeing Dark brown, blues, greens
and blacks can be renewed by dipping
in same shades of Diamond dyes. All
wooden goods dye well. Silk never looks
quite as well as new, but can be made
TO answer many purposes. Poplins
color well but shrink. When dark fab
RIGS are desired lighter color they may
be bleached by dipping moment in
chloride of lime, then well rinsed, and
they will take any color. Pieces of
yarn, skeins of different shades, may
all be put in the dye and colored one
shade. New ideas and helps for over
worked women are arising all the time,
and still the car of progress rolls on.
Grandmothers and great-grandmothers
look on in wonder and say, What
should we have thought in our younger
years to have had so many helps? The
ingenuity of man is wonderful Pc.

seasonable and refreshing. What he
does object to is mass of prose where
each line begins with a capital letter.
Such prose is poor form. Capitals
should be used in prose in the COM
mencement of sentences, proper names
and in few other judicious places, but
using them at the beginning of every
line takes too many letters from the
cap-case, and besides sometimes mis-
leads the careless or innocent reader
into installing it for poetry. Why, in
spring Nature seems TO be all poetry,
and good deal of it set to music. The
trouble seems to be to find people who
can catch and translate her language
into good United States, and when one
does the world recognizes the language
and crowns the translator " Poet" To

to write poetry is infinitely harder-ex-

Now and again beautiful thought,

then we receive what may possibly be
good poetry, but it may be the EDITORS

Children's Toys.

Toys are so perishable in material
that nearly every home is full of broken
and battered playthings, which sooner
or later find their way to stove or ash
heap No greater waste of money
unless it be that spent for candy-is on
record than that which is wasted upon
the wooden and tin playthings which
last as long and give as much pleasure
as soap-bubble. A writer in the
Chicago Ne,CS gives a new idea which
we have not before met with. 1t is as
follows Mothers too often make the
mistake of satiating their children with
too great variety. AS soon as a child
tires of one toy, for example, there is
another substituted, and discomfort is
the certain result. The mother of four
children, of whom the oldest was eight
and the youngest two, told me that she
had never had any trouble in amusing
them, because they were taught to play
sible number of toys. She feared col
lision of interests if each child had
special set of toys; and on this ac-
count gave each one a doll, with the
necessary belongings, and a few other
toys-each possessing almost precisely
the same things. The finer toys were
understood to be mothers property,
and were kept in a cupboard apart.
These were only lent to the children on
special occasions. There was always
rejoicing when mammals toys were
brought out, each child vying with the
other as to behavior, so that the treas
ures could be kept as long as possible.
Books for painting with colored cray
ons were an important adjunct, as,
when tired of play, the children were
always ready to paint. The older chill
dren were taught that they must de-
wise some play for the younger ones,
and thus happy time was the rule in
the nursery. Sweetness and light "are
powerful adjuncts in the nursery
